New to RW and in Limbo

Hello, after an eventful trip to Scapa in October I'm now in the limbo between finding out I that have a large PFO and getting it fixed, and as part of the many decisions I've made regarding continuing diving was to migrate to using a rebreather. I'd like to know if my Agir backplate and one piece harness and Njord 44lb (donut style) wing would be compatible with the JJ-CCR before I sell them; my twin 12's are now long gone.

Hello

The Agir backplate and harness will fit. I don't know the Njord wing. There are two main points for the wing on a JJ-CCR: The elbow for the inflator hose has to be on the left side (front or back). A wing with the elbow for inflator in the middle of the wing (like some DIR style wings) will not fit. The top of the wing has to be quite flat. If there is too much material on top of the wing it can, while inflated, press the breathing hoses together.

Thank You Dietmar,
I've attached a picture of my wing and from what you say it will not be suitable for use with the JJ-CCR. What is the supplied wing and backplate like, I ask this because I prefer less clutter up front.
